I have not read much about this issue, but I wonder if it is as serious as you are saying why are populations across Europe not voting against it, or they are voting but getting ignored by the rulers?
> or they are voting but getting ignored by the rulers?
That is what happened in at least:
- the Netherlands (votes for Wilders)
- Sweden (votes for SD)
- Germany (votes for AfD)
- France (votes for whatever that party is called nowadays)
- the UK (votes for Brexit largely based around migration issues)
- Belgium (votes for Vlaams Blok)
- Italy (votes for Meloni)
- Austria (votes for FPÖ)
...and I can go on. In most countries in Europe voters have spoken out against what they consider to be excessive asylum-based migration from non-Western cultures without requirements regarding assimilation or integration but not much has happened politically until very recently when the EU parliament voted to increase deportation efforts [1]. It remains to be seen whether this law will have any measurable impact given the fact that the EU actively supports many NGOs which aim to achieve the opposite of what the law states.
